John Wayne Gacy
John Wayne Gacy (33) Straight out of the he's-such-a-nice-guy file, Johnny
liked to dress in a homemade Pogo the Clown outfit to entertain kids. This lonely and
sadistic contractor also liked to entertain young boys privately in a very different
fashion. The prototypical organized killer, he had all aspects of the murder worked out
before each kill. Once he entered his murderous fantasy, there was no turning back.
He enjoyed handcuffing his victims, anally raping them, beating them to a pulp, offering
to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, reciting verses from the Bible and strangling
them to death. In 1978 he was tracked down by the police in Chicago. Thirty bodies were
found buried in the crawl space underneath his house, explaining his wife's complaints
about the constant stench in their home. As a prisoner, Johnny Boy started a new career as
an artist, painting mostly colorful clown pictures, which have been shown in galleries
nationwide. He was executed by lethal injection in 1994.
